Nine Fine Years of Coaster101 Giveaway
Nine years ago today, Coaster101 launched quietly as a meager collection of free-hosted web pages featuring a few roller coaster photos, news and…not much else.
Fortunately, much has changed in the nine years we’ve spent online. To celebrate our ninth birthday, we’re giving away three Coaster101 Prize Packs! See the bottom of this post for details.
The past year was an exciting one for Coaster101, as we saw one of the biggest redesigns in the website’s history. But while our appearance changed, our dedication to bringing you the latest amusement industry news and rich, unique roller coaster content remains a priority.
The entire Coaster101 team and I are very grateful for your continued support of the website. If there is anything that you’d like to see in our ninth year or beyond, please do not hesitate to contact us.
